Another frustrated email, sent in relation to some Labour Party literature, said: “There is no EU content here - we agreed to have Europe content in it.”

A spokesman for the Labour Party denied the claims and said the leaked emails were an attempt to “de-stabilise” Mr Corbyn’s position.

He said: "The leaks of these emails within the Labour Party are self-evidently politically motivated. This is the action of people who want to de-stabilise the leadership by attempting to demonstrate negative activity in the leader's office.
